The invention is directed to a pony tail holder including a friction member for more effectively engaging the strands of hair in the pony tail to prevent slippage of the pony tail holder during use. The pony tail holder may include a fabric ring having an annular area at least a portion of which comprises a tubular annulus around a central hole in which a pony tail is to be gripped by the pony tail holder, and an elastic core disposed within the tubular annulus of the fabric ring and extending around the central hole. The pony tail holder may further include a friction member woven into the fabric ring proximate an inner edge of the fabric ring such that at least a portion of the friction member is exposed through the outer surface of the fabric ring and engages the pony tail when the pony tail holder is disposed thereon, with the coefficient of friction of the friction member being greater than the coefficient of friction of the outer surface of the fabric ring.

The present disclosure is generally directed to headwear and, more particularly, to headwear, including hats, visors, head wraps, head ties, bandanas and the like, that include interwoven gripping fibers, such as rubber threads or other materials having increased gripping or frictional forces beyond that of the materials from which the headwear are typically fabricated, integrated into the headwear and positioned to engage the skin and/or hair of the wearer to improve the retention of the headwear when worn during physical activities.

Headwear with interwoven gripping fibers

A hair retaining clip including a first clip member, a second clip member, a hinge, an elastic member is disclosed. The first and second clip members each include a handle portion and a claw portion. The hinge is disposed between and pivotally connects the first and second clip members. An elastic member is disposed between and connects to the first and second clip members thereby biasing the claw portions of the respective first and second clip members together.

Hair retaining clip with elastic biasing member

An elastic shoelace includes a first end and a second end, an elongate elastic core, a sheath, and an elongate friction member. The elongate elastic core extends between the first and second ends of the elastic shoelace, and the sheath includes an outer surface and surrounds the elongate elastic core. The elongate friction member is disposed in the sheath, and at least a portion of the elongate friction member protrudes past the outer surface of the sheath.

Elastic shoelace

An elastic band includes an elongate elastic core, a sheath, and an elongate friction member. The elongate elastic core comprising a continuous loop and the sheath has an outer surface and surrounds the elongate elastic core. The elongate friction member is disposed in the sheath, such that at least a portion of the elongate friction member protrudes past the outer surface of the sheath.
